I'm currently evaluating some RAD controls from Telerik, just right now I'm experimenting with the RadGrid.
So I have my grid control and enabled client-side binding for having Ajax support. I created an appropriate WCF webservice for fetching the data etc. Everything works really good, including paging etc. Now I wanted to have a button column for deleting some items. I registered the OnItemCommand event of the grid and implemented it accordingly on the server-side. My ASPx code looks like this:
<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="RadGrid1" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None"
OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand">
<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="Id" ClientDataKeyNames="Id">
<Columns>
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Firstname" HeaderText="Firstname" DataType="System.String">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Lastname" HeaderText="Lastname" DataType="System.String">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Age" HeaderText="Age" DataType="System.Int32">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
<telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" UniqueName="DeleteColumn"
ButtonType="ImageButton">
</telerik:GridButtonColumn>
</Columns>
<PagerStyle Mode="Slider" />
</MasterTableView>
<ClientSettings>
<DataBinding SelectMethod="GetSampleData" Location="Webservice/GridData.svc" SortParameterType="String">
</DataBinding>
</ClientSettings>
</telerik:RadGrid>
However when clicking on the appropriate button on a grid row the event isn't fired, basically no postback to the server is being done. A solution I found is to add the "EnablePostBackOnRowClick=true
" to the ClientSettings, but this would cause a postback on each click on a row, which is not really desired.
Is there a better way to realizing this or does anybody have a hint what could be the problem??
Thx
As far as it seems this is not possible given the answer from the Telerik forum.
